British beefcake Daniel Dubois looked awesome on the scales as ‘The New Mike Tyson’ prepares to go to war this weekend.
Hailed as the most exciting prospect in all of heavyweight boxing, Dubois returns this Saturday night on BT Sport 1.
‘Dynamite’ will test his skills against the 18-1 Dutchman and late replacement Ricardo Snijders.
‘The Newest and Baddest Man on the Planet’ is firmly being backed for a stunning knockout.
MIKE TYSON
Being compared to Mike Tyson, who himself is set to fight this year at the age of 57, is a major compliment to ‘DDD’.
His presence at the staredown is a firm reminder of the American legend.
Not only does he look like Tyson, but the youngest ever heavyweight champion is the idol of Dubois.
See how they match up this weekend.
